Chapter 406: Clever Zhang Qili

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Zhang Qili laughed.

He shook his head and said to Lin Yang.

"I can understand youthful vigor."

"But, you must not be unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth, young man."

He looked around and said to Lin Yang.

"Your house should be a Qi Gathering Formation (Array)."

"It can let you cultivate with twice the result for half the effort, but in my view, it's nothing special."

"How dare a Qi Gathering Formation (Array) say it can kill me?"

Lin Yang looked at Zhang Qili, shook his head and said.

"You're nothing more than a frog in a well."

As soon as Lin Yang finished speaking, a man shouted loudly.

"How dare you speak to our young master like this!"

"Whether you believe it or not, I can make you kneel right now!"

Lin Yang turned his gaze to the speaker, shook his head and said.

"I don't believe it!"

The middle-aged man with a mustache heard this, his face sank as he raised his hand.

At the moment he raised his hand, Lin Yang said softly.

"An evil guest enters, and still wants to attack?"

Having said that, he stamped his foot.

The Formation (Array) inside the house activated instantly.

The Guardian Mountain Grand Formation activated, and Zhang Qili immediately rose to his feet, looking around.

At the moment he rose, a bolt of Lightning the size of a bowl struck toward the mustached man.

The Lightning instantly caused several people to close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes, they saw a charred corpse lying on the ground.

In that instant, the three people immediately shielded Zhang Qili behind them, warily watching Lin Yang.

Zhang Qili stared at the corpse on the ground, his mind unable to recover for a long time.

This was a Zhù jī Middle Stage cultivator, yet in the blink of an eye Lin Yang killed him!

As Zhang Qili's inner turmoil surged, the three people protecting him said.

"Young Master, the Formation (Array) here is somewhat strange; we should leave first!"

Zhang Qili heard their words, turned his gaze to Lin Yang, and sighed.

"It was my underestimation; we're leaving."

Seeing they were about to leave, Lin Yang gave a cold snort.

"Is this place one where you can come and go as you please?"

"Anyone who moves another step will die!"

A gaunt middle-aged man gave a cold snort and said to Lin Yang.

"Killing you here might be difficult, but we want to leave—can you stop us?"

Having said that, he ran toward the door.

But as he took a single step, a Fire Snake appeared out of nowhere in the house and burned him.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream rang out, and that person quickly became a corpse.

Seeing this, the remaining people were secretly frightened.

This Formation (Array) is truly strange; it can produce Lightning and fire out of thin air.

This made them dare not move at all.

Lin Yang said nothing, but turned his gaze to Zhang Qili.

Zhang Qili took a deep breath and bowed his hands to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, intruding into your home is indeed our fault."

"Please spare us."

Seeing Zhang Qili relent, Lin Yang smiled slightly.

"Congratulations, you made the right choice."

"If anyone among you tries to break out again, all three of you will die."

"If anyone again thinks of breaking out, what awaits them will be an unstoppable sword qi."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Zhang Qili had no doubt.

He inwardly felt a sigh of relief, glad he hadn't called anyone to force a breakthrough.

He said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, may we sit down and talk?"

Seeing that Zhang Qili had not panicked up to now, Lin Yang nodded secretly.

It seems Zhang Qili is not that kind of worthless young master.

When faced with matters, he doesn't just know how to threaten or panic.

Only for such a person does Lin Yang have the interest to talk.

With a wave of his hand, the Formation (Array) vanished completely.

"Please take a seat."

Zhang Qili looked around, then returned to sit in front of the sofa.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask what formation you just displayed?"

Lin Yang didn't hide it and said.

"I just displayed the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation."

"Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation?"

Zhang Qili pondered for a moment; he seemed to have heard of this formation somewhere.

But he couldn't recall it at the moment.

Seeing this, Lin Yang asked.

"Young Master Zhang, you came to my house late at night just for the Pure Yang Jade Pendant?"

Upon hearing that, Zhang Qili immediately nodded and said.

"That's right, I came for it."

"This time I came from Modu to Jinling for it."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang was somewhat surprised.

He thought for a moment and asked: "Is this thing powerful?"

"I don't know."

Seeing Zhang Qili deny it, Lin Yang also couldn't help but laugh.

He said: "You don't know it, yet you came to Jinling?"

Zhang Qili sighed and said.

"This item is the Pure Yang Ancestor's personal jade pendant, and although I don't know its value..."

"But I've heard that anything left behind by the Pure Yang Ancestor is not mundane."

Upon hearing Zhang Qili say he didn't know the pendant's true value, Lin Yang didn't continue asking.

"No matter why Young Master Zhang came to my place, it's impolite."

"This matter, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Qili looked at Lin Yang, pondered for a moment, took out a Heavenly Pearl, and tossed it to Lin Yang.

"Is this enough?"

Lin Yang, after taking the Heavenly Pearl, shook his head and said to Zhang Qili.

"Not quite enough."

Zhang Qili also didn't hesitate, taking out a jade pendant from his waist.

"This is a jade pendant blessed by a master; it keeps one warm in winter and cool in summer, and has some effect on cultivators."

The reason Zhang Qili didn't bring out money is that he knows.

Someone like Lin Yang, a master, is never short of money.

As long as he wishes, he could scrape together half of Jinling's wealth.

If he were willing to offer the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation, many families in Yanjing and Modu would likely compete to buy it.

However, by then Lin Yang would also invite some trouble.

But Lin Yang will definitely not be short of money.

So, only cultivator-use items can be brought out.

Lin Yang, after receiving the two items, nodded and said.

"Barely counting you as passed, you may go."

Zhang Qili stood up, about to leave.

He had just taken two steps when he stopped and looked toward Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, can I buy your Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation?"

"As long as you name your price, I'm willing to buy!"

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang laughed loudly.

"Get lost!"

Zhang Qili didn't hesitate and walked out.

Outside the door, the two remaining Zhù jī stage cultivators shouted.

"Young Master, let's go to Modu right now to get people to give him a hard time!"

"He's really arrogant, having killed two people and still daring to tell you to get lost!"

Zhang Qili shook his head and said.

"No need, trespassing a private residence is already our fault."

"Moreover, I feel this guy is hiding something; he's quite extraordinary."

"Let's go, back to Modu!"

After they left, Lin Yang stood on the second floor watching them, smirking.

Had Zhang Qili harbored any killing intent just now, he would have acted.

"He's still reasonable."

Having said that, he took out the Pure Yang Jade Pendant.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Lin Yang exhaled and infused it with Spiritual Power.

As the Spiritual Power entered the jade pendant, a greenish light shone over the entire villa.
